Capisette may be helpful for reducing leakage of fluids from the capillaries which can benefit those who are experiencing localized swelling from Edema.

In clinical practice, edema is a commonly encountered health issue for many physicians. Despite its regularity, effective treatments are considered relatively recent developments. Today, with the advent of alternative therapies, benign cases of edema can be completely eradicated. We at Progressive Health realize that for many individual's suffering from edema, the noticeable swelling can be a frightening experience as swelling may indicate the presence of an underlying disease.

Capisette has been developed to provide you with the most potent blend of proven nutrients which will eliminate fluid retention regardless of edema severity. Whether your swelling is caused by an underlying condition, or simply from sitting or standing too long on a regular basis, Capisette provides you with an effective means to control your edema.

Nutritional supplementation may prove to be one of the most important components to ending edema and its many troublesome symptoms. Capisette provides those nutritionals when taken daily.

Edema is defined as a noticeable swelling resulting from the accumulation of fluid in certain body tissues. The condition occurs when certain forces increase capillary permeability or interstitial oncotic pressure.

To simply matters, the swelling occurs as excessive fluid under the skin accumulates in the spaces within the tissues that are outside of the blood vessels. These spaces may also referred to as compartments or interstitial spaces. The body's many organs also have these interstitial spaces, or areas between the cells, where fluid can accumulate. However, edema most commonly occurs in the feet and legs. This is known as peripheral edema.

Edema is defined as an accumulation of fluid between the spaces in the body's cells. This most commonly occurs in the soft tissues areas of the body.

There a multitude of internal and external influences that can lead to edema and/or fluid retention. Edema's cause can even remain unknown, though this occurs most often in women rather than men. The existing risk factors, underlying medical conditions, and triggers include:
Varicose veins or thrombophlebitis (blood clot resulting in edema), Heart Failure, Cirrhosis of the liver, Liver and Kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome), Low levels of albumin in the blood, Standing or sitting for extended durations and Excessive salt intake/salt retention.

Addressing the underlying cause(s) of your edema remains important, as this condition may represent a much more serious health issue

Interestingly, yes, edema has been shown to affect heart attack victims. During a heart attack, your heart sends a signal to the arteries. This signal is important as it promotes the growth of new blood vessels. However, it can also be detrimental. The signal also results in the arteries becoming more permeable. Liquid can leak through the blood vessel walls and cause edema. The problem with this form of edema is that it continues to kill heart tissue even after blood flow is restored following the onset of the heart attack.

Absolutely not; any part of the body can develop edema. Swelling may be localized in the face, neck, arms, fingers, and like you've mentioned, may even involve the legs and ankles. There is even the potential for one to develop edema of the cornea in the eye (Corneal Stroma).

Dietary and lifestyle modifications are usually the first physician-recommended treatment option for individuals suffering from edema. Again, this usually encompasses lowering salt intakes from various food sources and increasing your amount of exercise and movement throughout the day. Doing so will eliminate the potential for fluid retention and will help to improve circulation.

Diet and lifestyle change is very influential. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been using diet to manipulate fluid retention for centuries. According to TCM, avoiding raw foods, cold drinks, and fatty foods will also aid in eliminating water retention. It seems that thousands of years ago the Chinese knew long before the West that diet could influence the body, even in cases of edema.
